Steam is set to remove Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Wet Dreams Dry Twice from its digital store on October 23, 2026. The developer behind these titles, CrazyBunch, officially closed its doors at the end of 2024.
Why it matters
The removal marks the end of these specific titles on the platform, though users who have already purchased the games will retain access to them in their personal libraries after the deadline.
Steam is currently offering the titles at a 95 percent discount, with Wet Dreams Don't Dry priced at $1.49 and Wet Dreams Dry Twice at $1.74. A bundle of both games is available for $4.25 until the October 23, 2026, removal date.
The players
Steam
Steam is a global digital distribution platform for video games developed by the Valve Corporation.
CrazyBunch
CrazyBunch was the independent German game development studio responsible for the modern Leisure Suit Larry reboot series.
GOG
GOG is a digital distribution platform focused on video games and movies, known for providing DRM-free titles.
The details
While the titles will no longer be available for purchase on Steam, they remain accessible on other digital storefronts such as GOG. The series itself has a long history, dating back to its initial release in 1987.
Timeline
The Leisure Suit Larry series debuted in 1987.
Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry was released in 2018.
Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice was released in 2020.
Developer CrazyBunch ceased operations at the end of 2024.
Steam will remove both games on October 23, 2026.
Culture Shift
This delisting reflects the broader instability in digital-only media ownership where titles can vanish from primary storefronts after developer closure. It highlights the growing reliance on alternative platforms like GOG to preserve software accessibility in a shifting market.
Players looking to own these titles should purchase them on Steam before the October 23, 2026, cutoff to ensure they remain in their library. Alternatively, consumers can seek out the games on other digital storefronts like GOG where they may remain available for purchase.
The takeaway
Digital ownership is subject to the lifespan of distribution agreements and development studios. Gamers should prioritize purchasing titles that are at risk of delisting if they wish to ensure long-term access.
